Letter: Daniel Carroll to Thomas Johnson, February 7, 1792

Page 1

It gave me great concern to hear last night that you had not proceeded for Pha [Philadelphia] agreeably to yr [your] letter of the 31st Ulo. [Ultimo] I hope that sickness was not in the way. I have wrote you several letters under Cover to C. C. of C. [?Charles Carroll of Carrollton] in Pha. containing such intelligence as may be material. Roberdeau went to Pha. ab [about] a week past and Walker will be there this evening. Have I not reason to apprehend any thing after what has happened?

If this should find you at home and anything to delay your proceeding on directly, will you write a few lines to Mr. Carroll or any others, mentiong [mentioning] when you may think it probable you will be there, and such other matters you may think proper on the occasion.

I have little else to leave to a number of helpless grand-children than an unsullied character. You will excuse my sensibility. I fear there may be an attack on it founded in disapointed [sic] Malice; it is impossible to say how that will extend.

Transcript

G. Town [Georgetown] Febr 7th, [17]92

My dear Sir,

It gave me great concern to hear last night that you had not proceeded for Pha [Philadelphia] agreeably to yr [your] letter of the 31st Ulo. [Ultimo] I hope that sickness was not in the way. I have wrote you several letters under Cover to C. C. of C. [?Charles Carroll of Carrollton] in Pha. containing such intelligence as may be material. Roberdeau went to Pha. ab [about] a week past and Walker will be there this evening. Have I not reason to apprehend any thing after what has happened?

If this should find you at home and anything to delay your proceeding on directly, will you write a few lines to Mr. Carroll or any others, mentiong [mentioning] when you may think it probable you will be there, and such other matters you may think proper on the occasion.

I have little else to leave to a number of helpless grand-children than an unsullied character. You will excuse my sensibility. I fear there may be an attack on it founded in disapointed [sic] Malice; it is impossible to say how that will extend.
